Quite warm here, 33 miles, and 25 signs you have grown up

Ok some other bloggers have been mentioning the heat lately. Here in this little town of Paris in the northeast corner of Texas at approximately 2:45 pm it is 102 with a heat index of 111. The forecast for tomorrow is 106 for the actual temperature. I think the highest official temperature I have ever seen here was 107 or so back in the severe heat wave of 1980. Nice weather for making this cast smell so much better right?
-------------------
I keep it marked on my calendar how many miles I walk each day....no reason really I just do. I did a quick tally for last week and I totalled 33 miles. I am planning on bettering that mark this week and hopefully average 5 miles a day. Just a little FYI and a useless bit of Bradinfo.
--------------------
My great friend Pam....(ok we tolerate each other and get along great as long as its through email.....j/k) who lives all of four doors to the south of me, sent me this email. In it was 25 signs to let you know you have grown up. Now growing up has nothing to do with age......right? Anyway without any further comment here is the list.

25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Sleeping in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00am is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those f*** kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3am would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good shit."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going todrink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh shit what the hell happened?"
Bonus:You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass. Then you share it with a bunch of old friends because you know they'll enjoy it and do the same.
----------------------------------------------
So how did you do on the test? Any grown ups here?
Ciao (had to use it or Becca would think I didn't still love her.....hope your summer cold is better friend )
